Welcome! Yá’át’ééh! Tsengi Tii/Tsengi Tamuu! Miquei!

We are three generations of women who create jewelry, art and regalia that represents our culture. Grandmothers, mom, and daughters: Diana Taylor, Felice Begay, Denece Taylor-Begay, Jaycie Begay and Shannia Crank Tapoof. We love to create and share our art with others.

Diana Taylor

Diana was born in Kha Po Owinge (Santa Clara Pueblo) and grew up in Kha Po Owinge and on the Dine Nation. She is the backbone to our family. She loves spending time with her children and grandchildren and likes to read in her spare time. Diana’s favorite thing to sew is dance regalia for her family. She resides in Salt Lake City Utah with her children and grandchildren.

Shannia Crank is my name and beading is my game! I am a local artist from the Diné (Navajo) and Nʉmʉnʉʉ (Comanche) tribe! Salt Lake City, Utah is where I reside and grow as an artist with my family and friends. My beaded work is a reflection of all the beautiful colors and emotions I have felt throughout my life. As a young girl I have always studied others bead work in hopes that one day I can have something just as beautiful and vibrant. I strive to bring joy and into others every day life through my patterns. I am a strong advocate for MMIW as well as suicide prevention in our native youth.

Denece Taylor Begay

I am a member of Kha Po Owinge (Santa Clara Pueblo) and am also from Navajo and Ute descent. I am so grateful to be able to create with my family and be able to make items for my community. I have a lot of unfinished projects that will hopefully be done soon!
